*A unit is a printing company and may also be an enterprise with a licence for a specific item of printed matter.

** Where audits requires more than one day away from the office including travelling, Nordic Ecolabelling can invoice an additional fee of 1,000€ per extra day. Other extraordinary costs induced by the audit can also be invoiced the applicant.

*** As for an extension of or amendments to a licence, time consumed in connection with the review process will be invoiced according to the extent of the required task. We make a distinction between entirely administrative tasks that last less than 1 hour, and all other tasks that last between 1 and 4 hours, between 4 and 8 hours and more than 8 hours.

**** When both the applicant and the manufacturer are micro-enterprises, the fee is reduced by 50%. A micro-enterprise is in this context defined as an enterprise with less than 10 employees and an annual turnover (of both ecolabelled and not ecolabelled products) below EUR 2 million.

***** Purchased paper= the licence holder’s annual procurement of paper for printing either at the licence holder og at the licence holder’s Nordic ecolabelled supplier of items of printed matter for the Nordic market. If the paper consumption at the printing company is considerably higher than the paper procurement, e.g. if the printing company uses paper supplied by the customer, then Nordic Ecolabelling may charge a fee based on the printing company's total paper consumption. Groups of companies may add up their paper consumption, only not across geographic borders in case of Nordic printing companies.
